Ok, I had a whole gigantic post lined up here explaining how it would work, but then my computer crashed and I lost it all, so I'll just ask briefly: Is anyone interested in playing Magic: the Gathering on these forums? If enough (more than one) people show interest, I'll retype the whole blasted thing.

I am interested. By interested I mean interested not "I will play no matter what". I used to play Magic a long time ago. Something like 5+ years ago(not counting the video games I have somewhat tried). Depending on how you plan on doing it I might play.

I think it's been 10 years.

Yeah note I was guessing when I said 5+ years because I really can't remember the last time I played. It was somewhere back around when I was still in boy scouts (they were the ones that got me into it) but thats all I remember and I didn't find it worth it to count back to that.

Sorry for the delay. I'd like to say I've been busy yesterday, but the real reason is Skyrim.

Anyway, here are the rules and this is the first in a series of videos explaining how the game works.

What I need from prospective players is a PMed list with links to all the cards in your deck. The links preferably lead to the cards' Gatherer page, but if you have a site you prefer, you may use that one as well.I will then spreadsheetify your decks and match you up. I will use an RNG to decide which cards you draw and who may choose who begins. Players then play their turns as normal, with one exception: if an instant is cast to interrupt a spell, time will be rewinded to when that spell was on the stack. This will be tricky and might take some goodwill from the players to do properly, but it's the only way I can see instant spells being used properly in a text-based medium.

How's that sound like to you guys?

(P.S. as an aside, I'm fairly well versed with the rules of MTG, so if someone has any questions about them, feel free to ask)

Not really. No cards that require players perform a physical action, or cards that would be tricky to play when opponents aren't sitting across each other in the same room. Other than that, standard rules apply: minimum of 60 cards. No more than four of the same card in a deck, exception being basic lands.
